# Polymorphic URL helpers are methods for smart resolution to a named route call when
# given an Active Record model instance. They are to be used in combination with
# ActionController::Resources.
#
# These methods are useful when you want to generate correct URL or path to a RESTful
# resource without having to know the exact type of the record in question.
#
# Nested resources and/or namespaces are also supported, as illustrated in the example:
#
# polymorphic_url([:admin, @article, @comment])
#
# results in:
#
# admin_article_comment_url(@article, @comment)
#
# == Usage within the framework
#
# Polymorphic URL helpers are used in a number of places throughout the \Rails framework:
#
# * url_for, so you can use it with a record as the argument, e.g.
# url_for(@article);
# * ActionView::Helpers::FormHelper uses polymorphic_path, so you can write
# form_for(@article) without having to specify :url parameter for the form
# action;
# * redirect_to (which, in fact, uses url_for) so you can write
# redirect_to(post) in your controllers;
# * ActionView::Helpers::AtomFeedHelper, so you don't have to explicitly specify URLs
# for feed entries.
#
# == Prefixed polymorphic helpers
#
# In addition to polymorphic_url and polymorphic_path methods, a
# number of prefixed helpers are available as a shorthand to action: "..."
# in options. Those are:
#
# * edit_polymorphic_url, edit_polymorphic_path
# * new_polymorphic_url, new_polymorphic_path
#
# Example usage:
#
# edit_polymorphic_path(@post) # => "/posts/1/edit"
# polymorphic_path(@post, format: :pdf) # => "/posts/1.pdf"
#
# == Usage with mounted engines
#
# If you are using a mounted engine and you need to use a polymorphic_url
# pointing at the engine's routes, pass in the engine's route proxy as the first
# argument to the method. For example:
#
# polymorphic_url([blog, @post]) # calls blog.post_path(@post)
# form_for([blog, @post]) # => "/blog/posts/1"
#
module PolymorphicRoutes
include ActionController::ModelNaming
# Constructs a call to a named RESTful route for the given record and returns the
# resulting URL string. For example:
#
# # calls post_url(post)
# polymorphic_url(post) # => "http://example.com/posts/1"
# polymorphic_url([blog, post]) # => "http://example.com/blogs/1/posts/1"
# polymorphic_url([:admin, blog, post]) # => "http://example.com/admin/blogs/1/posts/1"
# polymorphic_url([user, :blog, post]) # => "http://example.com/users/1/blog/posts/1"
# polymorphic_url(Comment) # => "http://example.com/comments"
#
# ==== Options
#
# * :action - Specifies the action prefix for the named route:
# :new or :edit. Default is no prefix.
# * :routing_type - Allowed values are :path or :url.
# Default is :url.
#
# Also includes all the options from url_for. These include such
# things as :anchor or :trailing_slash. Example usage
# is given below:
#
# polymorphic_url([blog, post], anchor: 'my_anchor')
# # => "http://example.com/blogs/1/posts/1#my_anchor"
# polymorphic_url([blog, post], anchor: 'my_anchor', script_name: "/my_app")
# # => "http://example.com/my_app/blogs/1/posts/1#my_anchor"
#
# For all of these options, see the documentation for url_for.
#
# ==== Functionality
#
# # an Article record
# polymorphic_url(record) # same as article_url(record)
#
# # a Comment record
# polymorphic_url(record) # same as comment_url(record)
#
# # it recognizes new records and maps to the collection
# record = Comment.new
# polymorphic_url(record) # same as comments_url()
#
# # the class of a record will also map to the collection
# polymorphic_url(Comment) # same as comments_url()
#
